Welcome

Illinois Hereford Association

The Illinois Hereford Association is a not for profit organization with membership consisting of Hereford breeders and enthusiasts from across our great state.

The IHA believes that the breed has tremendous contributions to make to the beef industry today and throughout the future generations. We are proud to represent more than 130 Hereford breeders, as we work together for the betterment of both the Hereford breed and the IL cattle industry.

Through the IHA our members receive benefits, tools, and opportunities centered around education, promotion, and marketing. We work alongside the American Hereford Association and the Illinois Beef Association to ensure our members are equipped with the tools they need to be successful!
